Expert Tips
Make sure to have the veggies thinly sliced as its a salad to be eaten raw. Add more mayo if you prefer. Use freshly crushed pepper. I used pepper from pepper mill. Make sure the veggies are dry otherwise the slad will become watery. So rinse the veggies well, dry and use it. You can replace vinegar with lemon juice.
